Models that will be available include the Yeezy Boost 350 V2, 500, and 700 as well as the Yeezy Slide and Foam RNR.The company cut ties with Ye in October after he made antisemitic and other offensive remarks online and in interviews.

Why do we still speed?"Markman: "Well, for one thing, a lot of times when you're in the car, you're there because you're trying to get somewhere. Your goal isn't just to enjoy the drive, your ...
